RELIABLE Color inkjet printer needed

I am looking for a color inkjet printer that has good overall color
printing capability. Its photo capability should be (from 1 to 10) a
7, its use of ink should be in the 8 to 9 area and its reliability for
all the ink colors working without cleaning the hell out of it about a
9. The speed should be around an 7 or 8.

I would like to keep the cost at under $200. Any suggestions??

To give you an idea of what I am used to, I have an Epson 740. The
photos it makes are very acceptable (it would be nice to have that
quality). The use of the ink drives me nuts. At about $40 a pop for
refills about once a month or so, it drove me to the refill market.
Its reliability using the refills leaves something to be desired.

I had an old fairly high speed HP color inkjet (Can't remember the
model, but it was a high end home/small business $500 printer about 10
years ago) that used refills very well and was very reliable, but not
good for photos.

I have never used a Cannon or other inkjet.

Although the Canon with its S-820 up and 900 seems to have found favour
there is that printhead unreliability always hovering: $70 a go or so when
it goes.
One of those unsung winners could definately be in the running is the C80/82
replacement the C66 and C86. It uses single pigmented cartridges and is
economical.
This will give you some idea of USA prices for carts:
